Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady Welcome Daughter Vivian Lake

Daughter Vivian Lake Brady was born at home in Boston and joins big brothers Benjamin, who turns 3 Saturday, and John, 5, Brady’s son from a previous relationship.

“We feel so lucky to have been able to experience the miracle of birth once again and are forever grateful for the opportunity to be the parents of another little angel,” the supermodel, 32, announced on her Facebook page.

“She is healthy and full of life. Thank you all for your support and well wishes. We wish you and your families many blessings.”
Despite increasing speculation that she was expecting following an appearance in Rio de Janeiro, Bündchen, 32, never confirmed the pregnancy, but rather let her growing belly do all the talking before eventually baring her burgeoning bump for all to see in a leopard-print bikini in November.

But the couple’s decision to expand their family further came as no surprise; The Brazilian beauty has been very open about her wish to have a brood of babies. “I’d be lying if I said, ‘No,’ to wanting a lot of kids,” she told Vanity Fair in 2007.

Bündchen and New England Patriots quarterback Brady, 35, were married in February 2009.

She looked flawless on the beach with that baby bump. Congrats on another healthy baby, can’t wait to see the beautiful child.

I agree. I dont know why people feel the need to say mean spirited comments about others life, looks, personal choices etc…. I can only acknowledge that I do believe it typically comes from people who sadly, are just not really happy with themselves & their own lives. I think she is stunningly beautiful & motherhood suits her very well.

I will say though that I thought her own comments made in an article several years ago, regarding his first child w the very beautiful & full of class, Bridgette Moynahan, were a bit disrespectful, insensitive & in poor taste. I have to imagine though that since becoming a mother herself, she might now realize that & understand why there was such outrage from the masses, especially all those of us Moms who thought to themselves “If some other woman said such things & tried to step into the roll of ‘mother’ to my children, (whom to me are the universe & the very reason I breathe) she would face a wrath like no other. Straight up ‘Mother Bear’ style! Lets hope she gets that now. Something tells me she does.

Nevertheless, I absolutely adore the picture they posted of Mother & baby’s dainty little hands joined together- its true beauty & it displays as many of us moms know, the truest of loves there is! Congratulations to them & their families (ok, yes, even Tom Brady- and this is coming from a DIEHARD Pittsburgh Steelers fan btw;) lol)

They look like brother and sister. Seems very narcissistic to marry someone who looks like the male/female version of yourself…

Ashley
on December 7th, 2012

Studies have shown that people tend to marry someone who looks similar to them. That’s b/c we’re used to looking in mirrors and subconsciously define beauty by our own features. Then we tend to “mate” with others who we find attractive which happens to have similar features as our own. It’s not narcissism, it’s more biology. If you look around, most couple look similar in facial features, not identical, of course.

Jeeny
on December 7th, 2012

I cannot stand this woman. She is very vile and rude about her position on breast feeding and with natural childbirth. She was so crass after Brady lost the Superbowl last year and she is not a gracious loser. I fear every time I am in Boston I will somehow run into this horrid woman. Before anyone says I am jealous I am not………..I just cannot stand a woman who thinks she knows what is best for all women in raising a child; plus she was cheating with Brady when he was still with Monyahan.

Ummm No
on December 7th, 2012

She actually wasn’t cheating when he was with his ex. He got her pregnant right before they broke up and then met Gisele. Three months later, his ex finds out she’s pregnant. No cheating in this story!

@Whocares – actually if you look at a lot of couples (not just celebs, try the people that you know) – I’m sure you’ll notice that a lof couples do tend to pick a partner that has the same features/look which in turn makes them look like they’re related. It’s really not uncommon.

on December 7th, 2012

Well most models aren’t conventionally pretty, which Gisele definitely is not. High fashion women models usually have sharp angular faces that lack any kind of soft feminine features. Just because she has made money off her face doesn’t make her beautiful. That being said beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Abandon his kids? Jeez, that must be why they’re all over the place together looking blessedly happy- Tom, Gisele, and the 2 boys. Terrible loving parents they are! TERRIBLE that Gisele loves her step son as much as her own kids.

Jeeny – Get over yourself. If you happen to run into her in Boston, she won’t even give you the time of day.

I’m not a huge fan of her, or him for that matter, but I wish them the best. It’s a lovely name and it seems like she had a very picture perfect birth.

I just hope we don’t have to hear about it for months to come… home birth, nursing, etc. She gives off an air that she is better than everyone and is now an authority on all things baby related… that doesn’t sit well with me.

Congratulations! Parabens!

It’s unfortunate that so many people here in the US who don’t know Gisele have such negative impression of her. It’s a classic case of “lost in translation”. She is passionate about her causes but her English doesn’t have nuance, as is the case for a second language. She is incredibly charitable with her money, a shrewd businesswoman, still the best paid model in the world.

As a brazilian myself I want you to consider this: How can you explain that she is universally adored in Brazil and hated here? My point is she can’t express herself well in English and rubs americans the wrong way when she talks passionately about her causes. The subtleties of language are hard to learn. Please take another look and try expressing yourself perfectly in another language with only a high school education, like Gisele.

First of all Tom didn’t know Bridget was pregnant when they broke up, and he and Gisele began dating. Second, they have his son John here in Boston and at The Stadium quite a lot.

Normally I get annoyed with haters…but I cannot STAND this couple. Tom did Bridget Moynihan dirty by taking up with a supermodel while she was pregnant and totally flaunting it…yes, they broke up but that was a lame move on his part. The kids are beautiful and innocent but I can’t stand that horse faced heifer or her suck a** husband.

All that matters is that Tom loves her and together they are a happy family..they don’t need anybody’s opinion on them.

I LOVE when people who don’t know these people make comments bashing them. Unless you know them personally or know someone who’s met them should keep their negative comments to themselves. What things have they done to you that made you so mean spirited. I know people have the right to their opinions, but some shou8ld be kept to themselves, especially those that are cruel and meanspirited. there is being critical and then there is just cruel and heartless.

Congrats to them a new baby a wonderful thing! I’m sure she is a cute as her big brothers.

As for Gisele, I’m sure she’ll be less judgmental of other mothers time. Having a second child shows you just how different each child is and that they don’t all fit into some parenting formula ideal.

Bette- Not only that, but BRIDGETT didn’t even know she was pregnant when she and Tom broke up. She found out a couple months afterward. Also, we don’t know that he left her. She could have left him for all we know, or it may have been mutual.

Julie- I agree about her being less judgemental. From what I’ve observed, women who have think of themselves as parenting experts with their first child tend to mellow out quite a bit when they have their second (and more often than not realize that just because something works for one child doesn’t mean it works for all children!).

Considering the fact that Gisele was much more private about this pregnancy than the last one (although I think PEOPLE is wrong about her never formally announcing it, as I recall reading that she’d confirmed the pregnancy- and said she was five months along at the time- to a foregin magazine back in August), I’m guessing that will be the case with her.🙂

In anycase, congrats to them, and I LOVE the name!

Okay, I agree that Gisele went a bit too far with her breastfeeding comments, I don’t understand why everyone gets on her case for saying her first delivery was pain-free. Pain-free deliveries aren’t common, but they DO happen (especially when you practice a techinique known as hypnobirthing), and I don’t see why women who have them should have to hide that fact!

Samantha

Julia may I ask how Bridget M is “full of class” She did People cover after her baby as born titles “Life without daddy” Classy?!

Lainey from LaineyGossip dubbed her Bitter Bridget when this first all went down, and we know why.

-Announces pregnancy to Page Six (online tabloid)
-Puts John on cover of sleazy tabloid with Life Without Daddy title
-Whines to Harper Bazaar with Heartbroken and Pregnant Story
-Slams Tom and Gisele to People Magazine
-Try to make the other’s son birth about herself

Bitter Bridget is nothing but a bitter, conniving, miserable, washed up D-Lister if that who is most famous for trying to trap Tom Brady.

Bridget has used and exploited their son as a means to get him to marry her, come back to her when he didn’t fall for her scam, and now just lives to hate on Tom and his family.

Bridget is no one to feel sorry for or admire. The only reason that kid doesn’t have his father’s last name is because his father refused to marry her. And whose to say John won’t grow up and decide to change his last name to that of a certain 3-Time Superbowl winning Hall of Fame bound QB?

Bridget isn’t strong, independent, couragous, etc. If she was that, then she wouldn’t have tried to keep a man who didn’t want her with a child, and use their child against him.

Everything Bitter Bridget did was textbook Bitter Baby Mama antics. Bridget is so cliche’, but I laugh because Bridget most definitely got what she deserved.

Remember that saying ladies- Try to Trap a Man, You Trap Yourself.

Julie
on December 8th, 2012

@ anonymous I don’t think it was just her saying she had a pain free delivery last time it was the implication that women who don’t were doing something wrong.

It was also her calling hospital births violent that some found offensive, and her comments that if the baby weight doesn’t just slide off you are not working hard enough.

Even with that, I don’t think she meant any harm with her comments just an eager first time mommy not considering how different things happen for different women and how different one pregnancy is from one to the next even with the same woman,

Even with all that I wish her, her husband, and their kids nothing but the best.

I say all this as mother to over half a dozen kids, all born at home some pain free, and others I thought I was going to die, some the weight came off easily and some not so easily, 17 months later I’m still losing the pounds from my youngest.

And as far as John’s last name goes, there’s no law saying a child has to have his father’s first name!

#1 I agree, she’s arrogant. And while I didnt have completely natural births or 100% breastfeed for however long she does, she is basically right in that it is what is absolute best for baby. Her attitude is the problem.
#2 Its normal for fashion models to have odd faces, often angular ones. They dont pick conventional beauties on purpose. A conventional beauty blurs in with all the other ads we see absolutely everywhere, & goes unnoticed.
#3 He didnt abandon any kids anywhere. And there is no proof he cheated. His relationship was over before his ex found out she was pregnant from all reports.
#4 Its been proven in multiple studies that almost all people are attracted to people with the same features as they have. But I fail to see any resemblance between them.

I know the name is classic and beautiful but it has no zing to it with regards to her Latin heritage.

I agree with the poster below who said this woman is judgemental of other women in relation to childbirth and breastfeeding and her comments on that subject matter have made her look very ugly indeed.
